Introduction: limb-sparing surgery is the mainstream treatment for primary extremity soft tissue sarcoma (ESTS) at referral centers, following advances in surgical reconstructions and multimodal management. However, amputation is still needed in selected patients and has not yet been described for a ESTS cohort in a contemporary scenario.
Material And Methods: consecutive patients who underwent surgery for primary ESTS from 2006 to 2018 were extracted from a prospectively collected database at our reference center.
Article Synopsis
- Burns are associated with high mortality and morbidity, particularly due to the risk of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO), making treatment difficult.
- A retrospective study of 97 burn patients showed that 27.8% had MDRO, predominantly in males with an average age of 29, with fire burns being the most common cause.
- MDR Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the most prevalent bacteria found, contributing to a high mortality rate of 48.1%, and emphasizing the need for improved infection control measures like hand hygiene.
